2024 Performance:
White Crane enjoyed the success that they did throughout the UK season due to their well balanced, even team dynamic which resulted in some incredible team combination plays. Great communication from James Beim helped gel the team together and allowed them to anticipate each others movements and plays, turning on to backhands, moving for passes, swapping possession and becoming an attacking force on the field.
Jasmine worked well out front, positioning herself for passes up as well as taking the front man to create space for her teammates to run through to goal. With the rest of the team all at 6 goals there was an even spread of strengths across the field meaning few holes or weak spots in either defence or attack. Both Felipe Dabas and Mackenzie Weisz are young players out to prove themselves in the medium goal, pulling out all the stops and playing quick, agile polo while James Beim's years of experience playing high and medium goal ensured that the team was well supported, structured and disciplined.
